The snow overnight and this morning caused most of the area schools to close because of the weather so many some of the kids enjoyed the new snow before the temperature makes its plunge tonight.
More Snow

Some might dream of a white Christmas, but they probably wouldn’t put their presents under a tree which has its branches covered with lots of heavy snow as it might be a bit chilly to dig them out.

For those wanting a white Christmas, a new coating of snow fell today making a new white landscape. It wasn’t enough to level all the tracks in my yard from the critters but new tracks will be more noticeable. And now the pine trees have a decorated look again.

Most of the fallen leaves were covered over with snow this morning but a few hardy oak leaves were trying to reach up and surf above the snow layer.

The day had an unwelcome surprise as snowflakes covered the leaves turning them all white instead of the autumn array of colors.

As more above average temperatures continue, it is hard believe that this hot summer will only be a distant memory once winter makes its return and the average highs for December, January and February is below freezing.
Winter Will Return Too Soon

This year, the last snow drift melted on Monday but snow can still come in May as it did five years ago when it dumped 18 inches of snow on my yard from the storm that lasted May 1 through the 3rd. The storm caused schools to cancel classes and the weight of the heavy snow snapped a lot of branches. This normally mighty pine tree looked very limp and wimpy as the limbs hung down under the wet snow.

As the snow continues to melt, maybe this will be the last Sunday this spring with snow on the ground at sunset.

Yesterday’s blizzard caused the snow to create drifts across the lawn like waves on the water. And more snowflakes fell today adding to the total inches covering the ground.

Winter is refusing to release its hold this year as another snow storm drops more of that cold white stuff. I watched items on the lawn, which were emerging from the white layer, get completely covered over again with snow. Those robins have had their tails get covered with snow too many times already so spring should be allowed to come but instead forecast calls for cold and more snow.
Winter Still Here
